If you’re on Foursquare<\/a> and you check in at work, be careful about comments you make along with your check-in, especially if you work for a large corporation. Big companies have Thought Police that search for anything negative said about them. If you leave a negative comment with your check-in and it goes to Twitter, the Thought Police will see it and corporate will contact your supervisor to reprimand you. This has happened to multiple people I know in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

This won’t come as a surprise to anyone: Consumerist.com surveyed its readers, who voted Comcast as the worst company in America<\/a>. You won’t hear any argument from me. Ticketmaster was the runner-up, and again, I can’t disagree.<\/p>\n

On Friday, May 7, Bobby Rush will host a special fundraiser for the Center for Southern Folklore<\/a>. Tickets are $50, or you can purchase a Golden Circle Ticket for $100 which will give you priority seating for the concert, as well as the chance to dine and talk with Mr. Rush before the show. Doors open at 6:30. Call 525-3655 or visit the Center’s website to purchase tickets.<\/p>\n

If you’ve ever wanted to give yoga a try, master instructor Grace Harwood from Midtown Yoga will give a free class tomorrow in Court Square. It will run from 11:45 to 1:15, and it’s part of the CCC’s Downtown Alive! lunchtime series.<\/p>\n

Time for trivia at the Saucer.\u00a0 The Rapscallions have been absolutely unstoppable lately, having amassed winnings of $525 to be used at a future party.\u00a0 Hopefully we’ll add $50 more this week.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for something else fun to do, don’t forget that it’s Super Tuesday at Kooky Canuck, with their massive $34 oz. signature drinks only $5.\u00a0 After trivia I may not be up for one of those, but I imagine I’ll at least stop by Kooky for a Super Cold Bud Light on the way home.<\/p>\n

Also, Stepbrothers play the Silly Goose tonight.\u00a0 Usually their start time is around 9.<\/p>\n

Outta here, on the way to trivia.\u00a0 Low in the mid 40s tonight.\u00a0 This may be the last time I can wear the PBR hoodie this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
